Answer: he had 50 marbles at first.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of marbles that he had at first.

He gave 2/5 of his marble to his neighbour. It means that the number of marbles that he gave to his neighbour is 2/5 × x = 2x/5

The number of marbles that he has remaining is

x - 2x/5 = 3x/5

He gave 1/6 of the remainder to his friend Ali. It means that the number of marbles that he gave to his friend is

1/6 × 3x/5 = x/10

The number of marbles that he has left is

3x/5 - x/10 = 5x/10

He had 25 marbles left. It means that

5x/10 = 25

5x = 25 × 10 = 250

x = 250/5 = 50

The function f(t) = 4t^2 − 8t + 6 shows the height from the ground f(t), in meters, of a roller coaster car at different times t
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

C - f(t) = 4(t − 1)^2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 2 meters from the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we're asked to rewrite the given equation f(t) = 4t^2 − 8t + 6 in the form f(t) = a(t - h)^2 + k (which is known as the "vertex form of the equation of a parabola.")  Here (h, k) is the vertex and a is a scale factor.

Let's begin by factoring 4 out of all three terms:

f(t) = 4 [ t^2 - 2t + 6/4 ]

Next, we must "complete the square" of t^2 - 2t + 6/4; in other words, we must re-write this expression in the form (t - h)^2 + k.

(To be continued)

The dotplot below displays the difference in scores for 18 games between a high school soccer team and its opponent.
kiruha [24]

Answer: Choice D

In two games, the team lost to the opponent by 1 goal.

========================================================

Explanation:

Negative scores indicate the team lost, and the absolute value of those values represent how much of a loss.

So a difference of -1 means the team lost by 1 point.

We have 2 dots over this value, so there are 2 occasions where the team lost  to the opponent by 1 goal.

An example would be that say the team scored 3 goals and the opponent scored 4 goals. So we have a differential of 3-4 = -1. The order is important because we would <u>not</u> say 4-3 = 1.
